同题仙游观
韩翃
仙台初见五城楼， 风物凄凄宿雨收。
山色遥连秦树晚， 砧声近报汉宫秋。
疏松影落空坛静， 细草香闲小洞幽。
何用别寻方外去？ 人间亦自有丹丘。
INSCRIBED IN THE TEMPLE OF THE WANDERING GENIE
Han Hong
I face, high over this enchanted lodge, the Court of the Five Cities of Heaven,
And I see a countryside blue and still, after the long rain.
The distant peaks and trees of Qin merge into twilight,
And Had Palace washing-stones make their autumnal echoes.
Thin pine-shadows brush the outdoor pulpit,
And grasses blow their fragrance into my little cave.
...Who need be craving a world beyond this one?
Here, among men, are the Purple Hills
